If bikes are licensed what do the riders get from it? Nothing probably, so in
other words its yet another tax. This time on people who are trying to do their
bit for the enviroment. Talk about the government shooting its enviroment
policies in the foot.

If it were to work as in Switzerland, third-party insurance. The
annual fee is paid to Migros, etc., for a dated sticker to place on the bike.
You also have a recorded serial number to recover the bike if stolen (they
_do_ get stolen, even in Switzerland).
